Overview
This minute taking in meetings training course helps you to learn to take and write professional meeting minutes and to do so more easily and speedily. The minute taking in meetings training course is suitable for any type of meeting that you take minutes in.
Attending this course enables you to provide your organisation with a set of professional minutes each and every time. To ensure that you are ready to take minutes the course uses a combination of both theory and practical activities allowing you to practice taking minutes before you return to work.
The minute taking course can be adapted to suit your level of experience with taking minutes, but on the whole it is suitable to anyone involved in meeting minutes.
Overall the aim of the training course is to enable you to write meeting minutes professionally, reduce the amount of wording required, save time and effort to produce effective minutes and to enhance the level of meeting communication for the organisation, the chair and meeting members.
Meeting minutes samples
This minute taking course carries no pre course work as we provide everything you need on the day. However if you feel that you would like to bring samples of minutes that you have created for checking then this can be fed in to the group and practical areas of the course.
